Our teacher, the Buddha has taught that birth as a human being is, indeed, a very rare achievement. Fortunately, we have how obtained that rare achievement. Yet, we have to remember that man’s greatness does not lie either in his nationality, cast, clan or any such feature. His greatness depends solely on his conduct.Man’s experiencing of happiness and suffering, too, is related to his three modes of action, namely mental, verbal and physical action

The Buddha devoted all his life to save man from dukkha-suffering. We are followers of the Buddha and our fervent hope is to see a world full of people who are freed from dukkha.

Mankind’s wonderful treasure of wisdom is the Teaching of Buddha.The doctrine illuminates our lives bringing happiness and joy. Go in search of this wonderful Dhamma your self, lead your life accordingly, get rid of your suffering and join that fortunate band of people who experience the Supreme Bliss
